Hi,
(for learning purposes) I would like to iterate through all the tasks
in a module and output different information about them. For this task
I need to lock the list of all tasks (need I?). I've seen some example
in the kernel code which lock tasklist_lock. However this symbol
cannot be used by modules. Its export was removed by
c59923a15c12d2b3597af913bf234a0ef264a38b commit.
Is there any other way I can lock the list of tasks then? Or I'm supposed
not to use this list at all?
Thanks

Hello Christoph and Andrew,
you are correspondingly the author and signer of the mentioned commit.
Could I get some feedback from you?
